The Oncogenic Role of KLF7 in Colon Adenocarcinoma and Therapeutic Perspectives.
Colon adenocarcinoma, a highly prevalent and aggressive form of colorectal cancer, necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its molecular mechanisms to identify potential therapeutic targets. The Krüppel-like factor 7 (KLF7), a transcription factor, has been associated with various malignancies, yet its specific role in colon adenocarcinoma remains largely unexplored. Here, we aimed to determine the expression and functional significance of KLF7 in colon adenocarcinoma. Our findings revealed a significant upregulation of KLF7 expression in colon adenocarcinoma tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, elevated KLF7 expression correlated with advanced tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor overall survival in colon adenocarcinoma patients. Functional assays demonstrated that silencing KLF7 resulted in reduced cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, indicating its involvement in promoting tumor growth and metastasis. Additionally, we identified potential downstream targets of KLF7, including genes associated with cell cycle regulation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. These results underscore the tumor-promoting role of KLF7 in colon adenocarcinoma, positioning it as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for this aggressive disease.
